Working in Arbroath

As well as Arbroath itself (DD11), we survey in Carnoustie, Forfar and Dundee.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Arbroath: free survey, written quote, one team. We quote wet rooms in Arbroath only after looking at the floor construction, because that is where most of the cost difference lies. For a wet room in a Arbroath flat, the first step is the title deeds, because agreement from the other owners or the factor is often needed before any work starts.

Supplies across most of Dundee and Angus are soft. If that holds for your street in Arbroath, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
A survey of the floor construction, the joist size and direction or the concrete slab, and the route to the soil stack
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

Floor tile

Matt or textured porcelain with good slip resistance. Mosaic gives extra grip on a centre-drain floor because of its many grout lines.

Rules that apply in Scotland

In Scotland, a wet room that alters the drainage, involves structural work to the floor or forms a new bathroom may need a building warrant; a straight refit usually does not. Water fittings must meet the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014.

Wet rooms in Arbroath: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Arbroath?

A wet room in Arbroath usually costs £5,800–£11,500 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the home survey in Arbroath really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover DD11 in Arbroath?

Yes. We cover all of Arbroath, including DD11, and nearby Carnoustie, Forfar and Dundee. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
